Re: [PORTS] Re: patch for minor Win32 makefile bug

Tom,

I experimented with different ways to do this patch and discussed this
with Jason Tischler, and I now conclude that the meaning of DLLLIBS in
the two makefiles is different enough that it doesn't make sense to
try to factor-out common information to share between them.

So I wish to withdraw my proposed patch entirely, leaving the two
definitions of DLLLIBS as is. My apologies for the confusion.
